Abstract:
The reduction of greenhouse gas gas (GHG), including CO, has been recognized as the task to be solved by the world. This paper presents an approach to enable citizens to use carbon emission credits or allowances for community contribution, e.g., schools and non-profit organizations. It assigns a small amount of carbon emission credits or allowances to RFID tags or barcodes attached to specific products and show how must credits that tag is worth like coupon for mitigating GHG emissions. People, including students, who want to support communities, including schools, collect these tags or barcodes and then redeemed the credits assigned to them to offset the GHG emitted from their communities. The approach was constructed and evaluated with real customers and real carbon credits with real communities.
